The second nic is not what he was asking for, and he made his point
clear on his first response. btw: I have systems with the exact same
configuration and they run as perfect as the ones with 2 nics.
I agree that 2 nics are the better way to go. Anyhow, if 1 nic would be
an absolute "no way to go" like some of you always pray instead of
offering a idea to solve the actual problem, MS would not have this way
built in and well documented.
